Peace Carvin III

Famous quotes containing the words peace and/or iii:

    Father, hear my prayer. Forgive him. As you have forgiven all your children who have sinned. Don’t turn your face from him. He didn’t know what he was doing. Bring him at last to rest in your peace ... which he could never have found ... here.
    —A.I. (Albert Isaac)

    Napoleon wanted to turn Paris into Rome under the Caesars, only with louder music and more marble. And it was done. His architects gave him the Arc de Triomphe and the Madeleine. His nephew Napoleon III wanted to turn Paris into Rome with Versailles piled on top, and it was done. His architects gave him the Paris Opera, an addition to the Louvre, and miles of new boulevards.
    Tom Wolfe (b. 1931)
